The test runs for this new system within selected states have yielded promising results. The new method:
- Candidates will be driving on an electronic track that is that will be monitored by cameras.
- The AI will spot the presence of errors, such as crossing lines, sluggish brakes, indicators not being present or the vehicle stalling.
